A Christian ministry and charity has publicly condemned the pornography industry and called out the need for greater regulation. The rate of pornographic addiction especially among youths all over the world is alarming. Research have it that a majority of the Nigerian youths who have been exposed to one pornigraphic addiction or the other in the past have been found to encounter erectile dysfunctions in real marriage.
Christian Action Research & Education (CARE) is seeking to impose similar restrictions on the porn industry as are imposed on the gambling industry.
CARE’s CEO Nola Leach said now is the time “to start recognizing the negative effects of porn on adults too as it has been on children".
Reports have it that there are between 700 and 800 million pornoagraphic pages online and that pornography accounts for more than a tenth of all internet searches. CARE believes that restrictions should be able to be placed on such websites so that those who are trying to break a porn addiction can utilize them.
The gambling industry contributes £6m to fund research and therapy for gambling addicts. Leach believes that the porn industry should do the same.
